TMDS171: Can TMDS181I and TMDS171I completely replace each other? For HDMI1.4

Because the price of TMDS181I has risen too much now, I would like to replace it with TMDS171I. Our product uses HDMI1.4. Excuse me, can it be replaced directly? Looking forward to getting a reply, thank you.

Hello,TMDS171 is pin to pin compatible with TMDS181, the difference  between them is that TMDS181 could support 6Gbps data rate while TMDS171 support 

3.4 Gbps Data Rates. In addition, TMDS171 is compatible with HDMI1.4b Electrical Parameters, so if your application is HDMI1.4, you could use TMDS171 for replacement.
